A delicate, pen-like script with slim, slightly irregular strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous vertical reach in ascenders and descenders, and a notably compact lowercase body that keeps counters small. Strokes flow with smooth curves and occasional looped entries/exits, while capitals lean more display-like, using larger gestures and light swashes that contrast with the simpler lowercase rhythm. Spacing is open enough to keep the texture light, with intermittent joins that feel natural rather than rigidly continuous.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a light handwritten voice is desirable. It also works nicely for short headlines, pull quotes, and social media graphics, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone is breezy and personable, like quick, neat handwriting dressed up with a touch of refinement. It reads friendly and informal, but the slender structure and graceful curves give it a soft elegance suited to expressive, upbeat messaging.
Designed to evoke natural handwriting with a refined, display-friendly polish—balancing quick, human movement with enough consistency to function in set text and short statements. The emphasis on tall proportions and airy stroke weight supports an elegant, contemporary script feel.
Capitals tend to be more ornamental and can introduce prominent flourishes that set a word’s tone immediately, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and lightly stylized to blend with text.
